Pros

The pay is nice compared to other establishments, great people work with. This company is great once you get to or past the regional position.

Cons

Long Hours, You work all Holidays, Cooking with a Title if you are a manager at waffle house you are cooking on the grill. Waffle House is 24 hours so if 2nd shift grill op calls out guess what your working if you cant find a replacement.

Pros

Solid pay for the industry Okay benefits Employee stock purchase plan Pretty consistent hours The actual work is difficult, but fun after you get good at it. Upward momentum is difficult, but the pay scales very well if you work your way up into management. Prepare for intense work if you do though.

Cons

They hire everyone, and your team will make or break your experience. Genuine safety concerns on 3rd shift. You need to be prepared for people to act out. Senior management only have operation management skills. They are not good "people" managers at all. Only "number" managers.
